Bio:

Second-born child and only daughter of the minor Tatalian noble house of Lange, vassals to the house of Wachttoren, Lijsbeth has always been an aspiring knight first and foremost.

Though Tatalia is famous for its pegasus riders, she found herself best suited to simple horseback combat from an early age. She honed her skills from youth in the Wachttoren court, adding the benefits of a meticulous training regimen to her natural talent. But in that court she also learned the schemes of nobility as they jockeyed for favor, how smiles masked slander.

She did not play that game herself, but she knew that she reaped the benefits when her family did so for her. Concepts like honor rang a little more false after that. And when she met real combat, it wasn't all tales of chivalry and nobility, her style just a little too wild, too brutal to be elegant rather than intimidating; sometimes it was her or the enemy and all that mattered was simple effectiveness to get herself and the others with her home alive if not always unharmed.

Still, she took her oaths and became a full knight, being assigned to the family's son Gunther. With time, she grew close to him, became one of his foremost guards despite her relative youth, learned more of him and his family and his sister Cecilia.

It was some time afterwards that the whisperers in court say that she fell in love with him, and he with her. It must have been a bad match in any case. Nothing that could ever progress into polite society as it was. Lijsbeth's flaws, her often capricious nature and cold imperiousness, combined with his own fiery temperament became overbearing in close quarters rather than charming idiosyncrasies from afar.

Even if these rumors were not to be believed, it was apparent that heated disagreements between them had become quite common and quite real. Not to the degree of fists and shouting, but - enough. Enough to disturb the peace at court and at Kraaien. So to her lord the facts were these:
1. His sister could use an additional bodyguard.
2. Lijsbeth remained one of his most competent knights, and could be trusted to do her duty.
3. He wished her out of his sight - at least for now.

Convenient, that.

Lijsbeth de Lange has always been a knight first and foremost - and despite her flaws and her cynicism, she still believes in the oaths she swore.
